Sets a value that specifies whether the site collection
is locked and unavailable for read or write access. This operation should be
used in conjunction with the Getsitelock operation. For more information, see
the Examples section.

Syntax

stsadm -o setsitelock

-url
<URL name>

-lock {none | noadditions | readonly | noaccess}

None:
Sets the site collection to unlock.

Noadditions:
Permits changes that reduce the size of the data.

For example, if you had an announcement list item whose
body consisted of 50 characters, you could successfully edit the list item so
that the body was reduced to 25 characters. However, if you tried to edit the
list item so that they body was increased to 100 characters, that would be
blocked.

Readonly:
Sets the site collection to read-only.

Noaccess:
Sets the site collection unavailable to all users.

Examples

To determine the lock status of the site, you can use
the following getsitelock syntax:

stsadm -o getsitelock -url http://server_name

Once the lock status of the site collection is
determined, you can use the noaccess parameter of the setsitelock operation to
lock out all users to the site:
